HANOI, VIETNAM — In a move rich with diplomatic significance and a powerful testament to the nation’s industrial prowess, Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer VinFast has officially handed over a special fleet of its ultra-premium Lac Hong LX 900 models to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These flagship, full-size electric SUVs are destined for the highest honor: serving as the official ceremonial vehicles for transporting international heads of state and senior government delegates during the grand commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day.
Historic Moment: This marks the first time a domestically produced automobile brand, with completely autonomous technological and manufacturing capabilities, has been entrusted with a supreme State-level mission of this magnitude in Vietnam.
A Symbol of National Pride and Technological Advancement
The handover ceremony, held at a government compound in Hanoi, was far more than a commercial transaction; it was a meticulously choreographed diplomatic ritual. The presence of the Lac Hong LX 900 fleet–a name evoking the mythical founders of the Vietnamese nation, Father Lac Long Quan and Mother Au Co–during this historic anniversary adds profound layers of meaning. It symbolizes national self-reliance, immense patriotic pride, and the country’s deep and sophisticated integration into the global community.

The seamless cooperation and technical support between VinFast’s engineering corps and the protocol division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have been pivotal.
Diplomatic and Environmental Significance
The use of a domestic electric vehicle brand for high-level diplomatic functions sends a powerful, dual message to the international community: it underscores Vietnam’s commitment to a sustainable, green future aligned with global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles, while simultaneously demonstrating its formidable industrial capability.
